摘要: Abstract A gender difference in the incidence of acute pain may be a confounder analgesic trials. We have tested hypothesis that after knee arthroscopic procedures is greater women than men. performed three RCTs on intra-articular analgesics which no postoperative analgesia was given until need for such treatment documented by scoring moderate-to-severe verbal rating scale (VRS 0–4; n =219), and 0–100 mm visual analogue (VAS) within 2 h postoperatively. All trials were with an catheter technique. The design allowed us to study natural course surgery required. Women reported more at least moderate intensity men (84 vs 57%; P
